Just a few taken today down around the bowling green Rock Park Llandrindod wells,

This afternoon at Llynheilin 8 canada geese back , with 2 tufted duck, 15 + wigeon , 2 female goosander, and a few mallard and teal. The 2 resident swans reigning supreme over their pool, then the snow showers swept in

Eureka! we actually had SIX Redpolls yest. + today-things looking up? Also 3 Siskins .

Yesterday a short hop up to the forest Bleddfa side ….. sighted  3 Crossbills a male and 2 females, heard quite  a few more, also at least 3 gold crest and 1 firecrest heard but not seen, very misty and dark above the fishpools trail, a couple of Grt spotted  woodies showing near to the main trail.

A walk around the lake this A.M. the two male wigeon still  hugging the Island.

Male brambling on our bird table – no female seen yet.  Not great photo hand held & through window (subsequently cleaned!)

Male brambling

Round L’dod lake again in the gathering gloom! New platform well under way and Gadwall slightly nearer than usual.

Thanks for you help Kev – much appreciated.  Have only just discover my ‘dashboard’

one of several dunnocks on our patch

- what a dumbo!!

A frustrating day…again! No Goldcrest to be seen in Rock Park; scoured Penybont common for rumoured Shorties from 16;00-17:00 to no avail ; round L’dod lake :just the 8 Goosanders.

Pair mistle thrush seen briefly end our track on the Llysdinam road, goldfinches & siskins still feeding in numbers on niger seeds, 2 pairs of woodies on nuts throughout the day plus number of nuthatches and the usual array of tits, sparrows,  greenfinches and several scrapping robins plus several busy dunnocks. One of these days will work out how to post a comment and photo together!!

Fed up with rain , we headed out to the Elan pm. . Dol y mynach produced : 1 fem Goldeneye , 1 Cormorant, 2 Dabchicks ,1 Heron , 1 Green Woodpecker and 2 Jays. Further up near the farm , a Mistle Thrush. No sign of Shorties-too early I guess.
